Commentary for Proverbs 27:12

עָר֤וּם רָאָ֣ה רָעָ֣ה נִסְתָּ֑ר פְּ֝תָאיִ֗ם עָבְר֥וּ נֶעֱנָֽשׁוּ׃

A prudent man seeth the evil, and hideth himself; But the thoughtless pass on, and are punished.

Rashi on Proverbs

A cunning man saw harm He sees the retribution coming upon the earth and hides from it by withdrawing from sin, but the fools did not hide and passed on the way of harm.
